Pluto - where size is really important
BBC NEWS | World | Pluto loses status as a planet
Astronomers meeting in the Czech capital have voted to strip Pluto of its status as a planet. About 2,500 experts were in Prague for the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) general assembly.
Looks like a planet to me...
I wonder how much it cost to host the conference and what real benefit
to mankind will come of it.
Does that mean it is no longer on the itinery for the 'future' trip to outer
space?
I mean, what real effect on humanity does it have, apart from trashing millions
of library books and confusing school lessons for years to come.
"Shall we spend two weeks discussing whether or not Pluto is a planet, or should
we dicuss things closer to home, like how to save the planet we are living
on".
